My criteria in judging this show is simple:
I picked the paintings that I liked, the paintings that excited and engaged
me. I gave little or no consideration to the technical skills of
the artist;if the artist's message was clearly stated and imaginatively and
sincerely conveyed, that was enough for me. In short, I picked paintings that
effectively conveyed to me the artist's interests, ideas and feelings, the
paintings that moved me.

The artists of the Idaho Watercolor Society should be congratulated for
their fine works.
